The ,first effort of the popuhice was, it is stated, on the 12th ult. when the 'French Colours were sUbstitnte4 for those of ',Portugal ; but, after fighting for several hours, • the Portugnize were obliged to submit to the superior discipline of their opponents.. A lar fate attended auother•attempt made on the 15th. A scarcity apprOaching to 'a famine prevails througliaut Portugal, and, in consequence of the etrift blockade, nO provisions can be iMported into that unforiunate Country. The following Letters contain Some curious detail' upon the subject. CoRK., JAN Your. Ship arrived here in safety last night (Sunday)', after a .passage of . ten days. She left Cadiz on the 31st nit. Before , the Captain came away, he saw letters .from, Lisbon of the 17th of December, stating, that ant insurrection had taken place' there on the 12th ,at night.;--The populace surprised the guards, a very severe : coal& ensued,: and many on both sides were killed. On the 13th, many of the leaders 'of the populace were shot, by the order of General JUNOT, which so, in,. censed the inhabitants, that they'rose again on •the night of the I.sth,- wherithe slaughter was dreadfnl :. .above 5000 persons on both sides were killed. The accounts add, that the inhabitants were dreadfully ill oil" for provisions. The greater pare of the wealthy' had entirely forsaken the City. The French colours bad been hoisted on board the Ships of War and on the forts. When the accounts left , Lisbon, peace. and quietness had not been entirely restored, and it was thought that famine would rid the country of the French and Spanish' soldiery. The Captain of • the Ship, who is the bearer of this information, threw all his papers overboard, having been chaced by three Privateers." DUBLIN, JAN. 2.—The following- highly interest lng intelligence has been just communicated by the Captain of an American Vessel, which Arrived in put- harbour this day, from Cadiz, which 'place he left on the 3 I st "It appears, that previous to his sailing, letters from Lisbon, dated the teth and teth of December, had been received, which stated, that on the. tab; at night (the French' having previously taken possession of all :the torts, and the remaining Ships of War, on which they hoisted French c4lours), the populace; in initriense numbers,cemmeneed an attack upon the French and Spanish troops ; that ageneral..gegage ment took place in the streets, and that great norm• bers were killed on both sides before the populace were reduced to subthission. The following hurtl ing General JUNOT issued a menacing Proclamation, threatening the ringleaders, which be said were well known, with' the most dreadful punishment. The immediate execution of the prisoners taken by .the French, followed this Proclamation ; some were. shot, and many were libtiged. These dreadful 6( amplee, however, were not of sufficient force, to . prevent a second insurreCtion, which took place in three clays after, an the ibth, more dreadful and sanguinary in its etreets than the former, in which our reports state, " bet Ween five and six thcmtia t► d Frencheand Spaniards were killed," and that the mosttlteatlfti! disorder prevailed in the Capital when ibelatt accoqnt . s,viete.p,nl,o,ff. greatey'part of the troops stationed ,there are .Spanish. the horrot,,of insurrp6\lots are added the miseries of want; ,as a scpreity of the most dreadful S and , feotipg kind prevailed generally in and about Lisbon:l IT is stated, and we believe accurately, that Sir : Jontv MOORE is about to proceed on an Expedition of consideiable importance. A reinfeicement has also been ordered , to Halifax, under the command of SieGEouoa PRESCOTT. , lAiTtiouon Prince STAHREMBERG hasidernbnded his ~Passportsz he will not, we believe, - quit this oountry until be receives an answer . to the Dis patches. sent off on Tuesday by. Count MEIN. It is stated in a Morning Paper as a - circumstance calculated to excite great surprise ? that General MACK i 8 in London, and that he has.had interviews with the Duke of YOUK and• Lord CASTLEREAGH. We are, strongly inclined to suspea that the Pa per in question has confounded General 11 , 14.a.crwith General MERCK, who was taken' prisoner at Domingo, and who has been in London a longtime. Though, as we . obierved yesterday, the y State Paper just issued by France, in answer to the re cent Declaration of the British Government, is some- , what less . violent in its, language than we have been . acaustomed to see in the columns of the .gonttcyr, yet it must be acknoWledged that it .manifests a continuance of the same determined rancour against this country : in , fad, though there is some inge nuity discoverable in parts of it, it is the ingenuity. ; of craft,, and is founded upon sophistry - and misre-. preSentation. It never fairly meets the faCts and arguments contained in the British Declaration, but . endeavours to prove that the latter contains Contra •diCtions and inconsistencies in itself. As a speci men of the artifice and misrepresentation which charaelerize this French Paper in general, it May be sufficient to 'point out the following passage, which meat indeed strike the least refleEting mind in perusing it. It was observed in the British Declaration, that the Emperor of: Russ had Sliewn the first symptoms of reviving: confidence towards England after Me Siege of Copenhagen ; .but in the French Paper these 'Wards are changed to " after the Peace of Tilsit ;" a very different thing indeed; for in the interval be-' t weed" the' conclusion of the Peace of Tilsit and the British attack ,on Copenhagen, . the Emperor 'of , . Russia miglik ha v e become sensible of the impoliey and disgraceful charaaer of that Peace, and might naturally wish to return to amicable 'relations with Great Britain. The inconsistency of Russia con sisted in her affecting to condemn our attack upon Denmark, when she had previously manifested sen timents of reviving confidence. towards us though that attack bad been made. But this is merely French quibbling, and would not be worthy of no tiee, except to show the feelings from which the French povernment wri !A s, and the pitiful tricks to' which it is oblig e d t o resor t, if possible; to fix blame - . upon Great Britain. In one partof the French Paper it unwarily makes an acknowledgment which, inciependently of all other considerations, fully jus tifies our operations respecting Denjnark, for it ad mits that if Denmark had . accepted our 'terms, France would have seized her Continental pos sessions. Indeed it ie 'so obvious that such would have been the 'conduat of 'France, that the ackowledgment was unnecessary, and there fore With the certainty, of such condoet, and the probability that Denmark was about to become .the passive instrument of France s it would have been worse than folly in us to have sutiered the Danish Navy to tall into the . hands of our inveter;. ate toe. . . As to Prussia, the French Paper does not deny what was said in the British Declaration respelling' that unfortunate Country, but it aliedgcs that Prussia has not been evacuated, because the Treaty bad not fixed the period of evacuation ? because the Contri butions 'laid upon the Prussian States during the War had not been discharged, and beeause...the Prelimi nary Arrangements with the KING of PRUSSIA are not yet terminated; because, forsooth, the Expedi tion to .Copenhagen` has repently thrown ,;pore un certainty into the afilfirs of the North of Europe. To tier the latter reason as a plea for the confirm- - ance of French Troops in Prussia, is the height'of . absurdity. But indeed , from what is said of the Prussian Cabinet in the French Paper, it seems evi dent that more misfortunes are impending over the head of his Prussian Majesty*, and it would, not be wonderful if he were at last deprived of all hiire paining possessions. The Paper passes over the int portant fad mentioned in the British Declaration, that Prussian Subje&s were designated to instant death on a charge of disrespect to the French Government.* But the main consideration as to this French Docu-i mew ' is its tendency on the great subject of Peace * A Morning Paper of this ttay says, that the shocking fad here alittcled to was first recorded in The Cvut ler de Lcndrer, trft rite truth is, that it was first stated in TUE Suli or (MO. bcf :rot. • i and Way. We confess.that . .we see nopacific senti• menu, on. the part of the French Ruler. He avows his determination to insist upon the destruCtion of those Maritime B ights which we are determined 03 Enaikkii9. How matNts are to by decided in this state, erutept by firmness, vigour, and a perso• viring- sujtort of those rights, till the &scow :tent mr.hicli BCONAPARTE I ,II commercial tyranny Must , spread all over the Continent may induce him to abate in his arrogance, it. is difficult to say. But it must excite the disgust of mankind to hear the sounds of" honour," " respect for indc . pendeth States," &c. &c. in the mouth of a mail who'` decreed' the' downfall 'of the Throne of Portugal bmause. the PRINCB REGiIINT would not he guilty of the most dishonourable concluot towariN 'an Ally, and who, tinder pretence of respeaing ti t o neutraiie)' , , of other' States; has imposed such restric• tints upon. "G lee Continental States as.totally annihilate their Owly free-will, and oblige them to aubinit to the most lamentable privations, upon pain of destru6tion to their Vessels and imprisonment to their Subje6l6, if by mere distress they hate been compelled to touch at an 'English port, or to submit to the search of a British Vessel, without any means of resistance' Upon the' whole, the French paper seems to 1 ?t 1 brought forward at therpresent moment in order to furnish topics for the Opposition in this Country, au 1 . the approaching meeting of Parliament—a mease;l .. of justice as well as gratitude; 'since the Writers is the, cause of that Opposition have lately been very '' sedulous in providing topics for France ar to raig{ l , , . . ~ t he coquet of Great Britain. „ , >' intglligenco Ints been received of the safe arrival of Lorti.Mttryo and General Hawtri in the Eas.t Indies.
